    I bought a microwavable chip maker, and to my surprise it worked great. It was a big hit at my office full of healthy eaters. 2 of my coworkers bought them online a few days later, and they love theirs. Cuts out the fat and oil, and the chips are super crispy. Add a bit of garlic salt and they're delish! You can use sweet potatoes or other root veggies too, and most come with a slicer/mandolin. I used standard Russet tators, but any kind would work. You can probably make the kale chips on this as well. I heard the sweet potato chips with a touch of seasoning are wonderful! Perfectly crispy!
    I'm not a big chip person, but when I'm craving salt/crunch, these hit the spot. Amazon sells the kit for about $10.

    Wow, this is good information. Thanks! I'll have to look that up. Chips are one of my weaknesses.

    I make spinach chips with olive oil and sea salt in the dehydrator or the oven. Taste great.

    I like the protein chips they sell online. 10 grams of protein per serving, and the flavors are good. I like the ranch and the cheddar flavors. I get them at this site: https://www.bariatricchoice.com/
    Cost is about $1.75/bag. Nothing beats the good'ole fashioned potato chips though. Try that microwavable tray; I don't think you'll be disappointed. Pinterest has a lot of homemade and healthy chip ideas as well.

    I've made Kale chips, but never spinach. Do you make them the same way? Also, I notice that Kale chips are good when you make them but don't stay crunch the next day. Any suggestions?

    Just have to be careful with the olive oil and not put too much, just spread your spinachon a cookie sheet, then salt and season them and cook them til crispy for just a couple minutes. I spray them with olive oil.

    Here's someones video of how to do it.

    We make chips quite regularly with a food dehydrator. Just slice thin with a mandolin, season and dehydrate. They turn out nice and crisp!
